Lake update

All lakes are now open and free of ice. It has been an up and down spring this year. lakes would open then freeze again. The pan fishing should pick up here as the water warms. Look for them to be close to where they were during last ice. The crappies will begin to stage in the deeper water outside of the spawning bays. A very effective method is to drift with slip bobbers. Be aware that in the Rhinelander Areas there has been some changes i the pan fish bags. Please check your regulations before going out on the water. I will start posting on a regular basis as the opener approaches. Good Luck this season and have a safe one!!
